Report: Unable to place alien stuctures as commander

This relates to beta build 214

This is regarding the alien commander being unable to place alien structures (like cysts, harvesters and hives) {in-game it's known as 'the cyst bug'}.

I heaven't been able to find the bug-trigger.

A lot of people complain about the bug, when playing. This bug sometimes changes the game, due to the fact that aliens need to get a new commander because the old commander aren't able to place any structures.

Thank you for you'r time.

    Thanks for the report. It always helps to have more information. When you see this bug again, please post any errors that appear in the game console, they might provide clues.

    Sorry, I'm german. I can't resist grammar. ;)

    On topic:
    I haven't encountered this bug in b214 but in the builds before. Selecting another building and than the hive again fixed that for me.
    So maybe it has something to do with the selected building. Also encountered this as marine. Selecting the CC fixed it too. But this was all not b214.
    Can someone who has the cyst bug report if it is fixable by selecting other buildings/units?

    I have sometimes the bug that i can place a cyst than i select a building or switch the tabs in the buildings menu and then back to the tab with the cysts. That fixes the issue for me. I have also a "bug" that selects all buildings of a type although i didn't click the buildings twice. That didn't happen to me before 214. I have the same issue on both my PCs i use to play NS2.
